Vachetta Milled Leather

Leather with The Sound of Traditional Italian Craftsmanship

Crafted in Tuscany by Ausonia, a renowned tanner since 1946. Made from the shoulder of premium cowhide, it is 100% vegetable-tanned using a traditional Italian method revived from over a thousand years ago. Unlike pit tanning, this leather undergoes a modern drum tanning process, allowing deep oil penetration for a supple yet durable finish.

The leather is aniline-dyed to the core, preserving its natural character, and air-dried to develop unique wrinkles and textures. Rich in natural oils, it ages beautifully, gaining depth in color and sheen over time. Its dense fibers give it a distinctive squeaky sound when rubbed.

Each piece is one of a kind, featuring natural grain variations, wrinkles, and markings that enhance its individuality. Though prone to scratches, its high oil content allows minor marks to fade with use. The leather darkens and softens over time, offering a patina that reflects its journey with you.

The Look of Natural Leather

We have chosen to keep natural markings such as scars, wrinkles, veins, and pores on the cowhide to showcase the natural appearance of the leather in our products. This is one of the most distinctive features of our bags. The appearance of the leather will vary depending on the part of the hide and individual differences between animals. Through careful observation, you will uncover your leather product's unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.
